Threat Journal

I’ve been followingÂ Threat JournalÂ on their various outlets for a couple years now, and I’ve been pretty impressed with their coverage. If you’re not familiar with Threat Journal, it’s a newsletter, website and podcast that covers only “the bad stuff” – terrorism, nuclear disasters, war, etc, and should definitely be on your radar if you like to know what’s going on in the world around you.

Here’s what Threat Journal is all about in their own words:

Threat Journal is a newsletter, website and podcast focusing on serious threats to the security of the U. S. and itâ€™s citizens and interests at home and abroad.

We sift through the bunk and hype to bring you precise news and analysis in a quick-read, executive summary format, clearly spelling out the details, how it impacts you, and where possible, ideas and methods to mitigate the dangers. Consider TJ your own personal high level weekly security briefing.

Additionally, for theÂ past couple of weeks, Threat Journal has been doing situation update videos on their YouTube channel. They are (so far) audio only, but are definitely worth your time to listen to. Check out their last update below.

Is what I use. It is a Hungarian site that monitors emergency distress signaling. I work at a nuke plant and I always check it before I go in for a shift to make sure I’m not going into a soup sandwich.
